The Pediatric Hospital Bambino Gesu, known as the ‘Pope’s Hospital’, has offered to take Charlie Gard from Great Ormond Street to give him another chance.

Mariella Enoc, president of the hospital, tweeted: ‘I have asked the health director to check with Great Ormond Street Hospital if there are sanitary conditions for an eventual transfer of Charlie to our hospital. We know that the case is desperate’.

While an unnamed US hospital has also extended the offer, saying they would do the treatment for free provided he is allowed to cross the Atlantic.

If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so.

The offer comes just hours after the president said he would be ‘delighted’ to help the sick baby.

Writing on Twitter, Mr Trump said: ‘If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the UK and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so.’

A Twitter account linked to the campaign to save little Charlie replied: ‘Thanks @realdonaldtrump for your support – @teresamay do the right thing and #savecharliegard’, as a new picture of Charlie was shared by his parents.

In a statement, a spokesman for Charlie’s parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, said: ‘Chris and Connie are overwhelmed with emotion that President Trump and the Pope have spoken publicly of their support.’

Last week, the devastated couple lost a legal battle to take their son to the US for trial therapy.

They had raised more than £1.3million for the treatment but are now reportedly considering using the money to set up a charity instead.

Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) where Charlie, who suffers from mitochondrial depletion syndrome, remains on life support, said the therapy in the US would be experimental and wouldn’t help.

Instead, they gave the family a few extra days to say goodbye properly to their son.

A White House spokesperson told The Sun: ‘Upon learning of baby Charlie Gard’s situation, President Trump has offered to help the family in this heartbreaking situation

‘Although the President himself has not spoken to the family, he does not want to pressure them in any way.

‘Members of the administration have spoken to the family in calls facilitated by the British government. The President is just trying to be helpful if at all possible.’
